They probably just had a use of force policy that required approval from above to use deadly force before anyone had shot.

Are we all sure the SS was putting in 110% that day?

They do, because 99% of the time “that person right there!” is someone trying to take a picture of the president.

The WHAT??
For real: is that how the secret service really is abbreviated? Talk about a Freudian slip…
(And I know that the secret service is older… I think)

The secret service was established by the Department of the Treasury 159 years ago under the Abraham Lincoln to suppress the counterfeiting of currency, which is still their primary mission

Grant expanded them to guarding the president, at least that’s what Wild Wild West claims. Still wanna know what they did with the giant spider tank.

They didn’t start guarding the president until 1901. So, not Grant.
